BEST WESTERN Montenotte Hotel  

The staff were absolutely excellent. We were travelling with 2 children, both under 19 months old. The Staff in the lounge area were particularly child-freindly and often offered party bags/crayons etc to distract the oldest baby so that he'd eat. The Hotel wasn't child-friendly, as there was no leisure facilities which we could bring a child to (the Swimming pool was too cold and was only equipped for adults) and the hotel itself didn't being located on a steep hill meant that walks to and from the hotel were scarily uphill & downhill. That said, we enjoyed the food and friendliness of many of the guests and staff and felt it was a value for money hotel.

Food was nice, although the buffet breakfast didn't serve 4 star quality foods or choices. My mother runs a 4 star B&B and offers omelettes, pancakes, 8 cereals, porridge, home-made muesli, soya milk, etc etc.The Hotel only offered 3 cereals (no porridge etc) and only a small selection of Irish Breakfast choices. There was only 1 yogurt available and fruit choices were limited. Dinners and Lunches were fine although the Child's Menu was far too big for 20 month old children, but we found it to provide good choices. The Hotel Staff cleaning the rooms constantly switched off our mini-fridge (which we brought to store the sterilised bottles for our 2 babies) which meant that we were constantly re-sterilising bottles in order to feed the babies. This was time-consuming and totally unnecessary... We were almost charged 50€ more than the bill should've came to, so thankfully I kept an eye on the expenditure before handing over my credit-card. All in all, we found the hotel lacked 4 star quality comparing it to several 4 star B&B establishments in the country, and found it to be more a 3 star venue.

The king bed was two singles pushed together

It was clean,friendly staff and in a good location

The band were awful....loud and harsh. There were children all over the place...shouting and making lots of noise.....not good....as I had invited some business friends to talk and we had to give up..as we could not hear each other.

The staff was friendly and helpful.

The breakfast, eggs were not cooked enough and the over all presentation was poor. Coffee was excellent.

Room size, restaurant.

TV reception bad, room decor.

The hotel was lovely and staff super!! Unfortunatly there was alot of noise from other people staying at the hotel including a row involving a group of men outside in the early hours which woke us ALL up! We didn't get alot of sleep due to all the noise in general in the early hours! Also we were over an hour waiting for food in the bar, with 3 hungry kids. Other than that we enjoyed our stay! I will bring ear plugs for everyone next time!

I like the relaxed atmosphere that the staff portrayed and enjoyed our party of Friday last to celebrate the reunion of our school class after 30 years. Jimmy in the bar was excellent as so too was his partner. I would definitely stay there again - its been 30 years since our debts do there and it brought back great memories - although the decor etc is more luxurious now.

The only suggestion that I would make would be regarding your pool - there are no real amenities there for a six year old - there is alot to be said for having a good shallow end in a pool for all ages - my husband tried to coax my son to come in but he declined, even though he loves splashing about and my husband had rushed from work to take him in at 6pm before it closing at 7. This was a bit of a dissapointment to them both.

I was very disappointed with my stay at the Hotel. It was a last minute decision to book the the hotel with no reserch just wanted to get away for a week and rest as we are in the hospitality business and need a break. On arrival despite booking bed and breakfast for the six nights we were informed that we booked room only , this was then corrected on the system. Early next morning we were woken twice with a false fire alarm going off. When we went to breakfast the resturant manager informed us we only booked room and not breakfast, when we informed him we had, he check with reception. As I was eating my breakfast I got a long ladies hair in my beans and eggs.I Presented this to reception after breakfast without any appology. The lady at reception said she would inform the resturant manager. That was the last we heard of the matter. For a 4 star hotel we found some of the staff very cold, also no water was supplied in the rooms. On our third night there we were kept awake until 2.30 am with a wedding reception directly under us, or so it appeared.The following night was a total discrace with all I can describe as a drunken orgy with young people cursing and swareing until 3am. I phoned reception to be told they nearly had Taxis got for everyone and the noise would soon be finished. It continued for a futher 30 minutes. On our final night it was worse again, with what apeared to be young people staying in the hotel walking up and down the corridore banning doors etc and shouting at the top of their voice this went on until after 4am. Yet the hotel staff took no action to stop this carry on. They seemed not concerned with their other paying guests. This was the worst Hotel experience of my life and I will never return to the Montenotte Hotel. I could say more but I will finish at that.

Nothing other than the views.

The staff are friendly & helpful and I enjoyed the view when having breakfast (even though the weather wasn't spectacular)

The friendly staff, excellent food,really comfortable beds, very good facilities.

1) Very accommodating staff at the reception. 2) Room rate is affordable. 3) I stayed in the kings room and it's just almost perfect. 4) I enjoyed my stay and will recommend it to all my friends. Xx many thanks, ryan
